Emergency Command Center Console System

The Orange County Fire Authority is procuring a comprehensive Emergency Command Center Console System to replace existing furniture and ensure uninterrupted 9-1-1 operations. The project involves the design validation, fabrication, delivery, installation, testing, and commissioning of twenty mission-critical consoles—nineteen sit/stand and one fixed-height—along with forty-four lockers, integrated monitor mounting systems, power and data management solutions, task and ambient lighting, and personal comfort systems. The contractor must also remove and lawfully dispose of the current console furniture. All work must be executed in phased intervals to maintain continuous command center functionality, with installation occurring on-site at the Emergency Command Center located at 1 Fire Authority Rd., Irvine, CA 92602. The system must comply with applicable building, safety, and accessibility codes, including Cal/OSHA and ADA standards, while adhering to manufacturer specifications and industry practices. The contractor is responsible for delivering comprehensive documentation including as-built records, test reports, warranty details, and closeout submittals, and must pass through all manufacturer warranties, with a ten-year warranty on structural components and three years on electrical and mechanical parts. The contract has an estimated value of $750,000 and is structured as a fixed-price agreement, though the specific contract type is not formally labeled. The solicitation number is 20260722076, with a submission deadline of August 20, 2026, and all proposals must be submitted electronically through the PlanetBids portal. Pre-qualification is mandatory, and contractors must pass a risk-based screening involving fourteen red flag questions and seven non-red flag questions, with a maximum allowable score of 35 to be eligible to bid. While no formal FAR clauses are applied, the OCFA has internal contractual provisions covering assignment, computation of time, remedies, nonwaiver, and notices, with placeholders for contractor contact details. The contract requires a qualified superintendent to remain on-site throughout the project and mandates submission of audited financials, notarized surety statements, and certified documentation, yet no specific payment office, accounting data, invoicing system, or COR/COTR contacts are provided. No option periods, security clearances, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are specified, and the award basis—whether price-based or trade-off—is not defined, leaving the selection method among qualified bidders undetermined.
